Fundamentos de TypeScript
JavaScript es un lenguaje desarrollado para ser utilizado principalmente en el desarrollo de aplicaciones web dinámicas. Más recientemente, también se ha popularizado como un lenguaje para desarrollar aplicaciones back-end utilizando node.js, que es un intérprete de JavaScript del lado del servidor. JavaScript es un lenguaje no tipado, de scripts y funcional. Los scripts se embeben en una página Web y las instrucciones de ese script las analiza y procesa (o interpreta) el navegador en el momento que deben ser ejecutadas. El hecho de que los programas escritos en JavaScript no se compilen tiene como consecuencia que muchos de los errores que puede cometer el programador, solo se van a detectar en tiempo de ejecución. Esto es más evidente con los errores relacionados con los tipos de datos, por ejemplo: valores incompatibles entre las variables cuando estas se operan; cambios de tipo en las variables; funciones con parámetros que no son recibidos; valores de retorno de las funciones que no son los esperados, entre otros. Una alternativa para solucionar estos problemas es TypeScript. Este es un lenguaje de programación, creado por Microsoft, que amplía JavaScript. El lenguaje se ha creado como un proyecto de código abierto, con licencia de Apache License 2.0, por lo que la comunidad de desarrolladores puede usarlo libremente. Entre sus características más notables, es que TypeScript brinda seguridad de tipos de datos a JavaScript. Esta característica permite a los desarrolladores ser muy efectivos e introducir menos errores gracias a que los programas escritos en TypeScript se compilan. En este proyecto guiado aprenderás a crear una página web simple, usando TypeScript. Serás capaz de mostrar información de objetos según un modelo conceptual y de realizar operaciones básicas sobre conjuntos de datos usando iteradores, condicionales, funciones, funciones de alto orden y el operador =>.
